[webmin-devel] [FSTAB] Samba-Problems with Webmin Version 1.163

[Martin M. <mm...@me...>]

Hi all,

found on SuSE 9.1 and SuSE 9.2

When I use the mount module to mount windows-shares I receive erros 
all the time. Doing it from the command line there is no problem.

When I add this into /etc/samba/smbfstab

//$server/$share /$linux/$dir smbfs \
	username=$username,password=$password

and then do an /etc/init.d/smbfs restart

the share is mounted.

When I do a local

mount -t smbfs -o \ 
username=$username,password=$password //$server/$share /$linux/$dir

everything works fine as well.

When I look at the code for this in suse-linux-lib.pl

[...]
if (&has_command("mount.smbfs")) {
        $smbfs_support = `mount.smbfs -v` =~ /username=/i ? 4 : 3;
        $smbfs_fs = "smbfs";
        }
[...]

"mount.smbfs" is out of service as well as "smbmount"

[...]
elsif (&has_command("smbmount")) {
        $smbfs_support = `smbmount -v` =~ /Version\s+2/i ? 2 : 1;
        $smbfs_fs = "smbfs";
        }
[...]

It has worked with the very first version of Samba 3.02 on SuSE Linux 
9.1, but did not anymore when someone upgraded to Samba 3.04 with 
Yast Online Update. In fact the mount was mounted from /etc/fstab, 
but no longer if you needed to alter that mount.

Please can someone patch against this in order to ...

a) Only use "mount -t smbfs ..."
b) write this into an existing /etc/samba/sbmfstab to hide passwords.
c) write only to /etc/fstab if users should be able to mount this as 
well.

bis dahin - kind regards

Martin Mewes
